Mississauga, Canada (prHWY.com) September 27, 2012 - With the availability of brand new laptops and desktop computers, people tend to discard their computers as soon as they become old or stop functioning. They go for replacement over repair. But old computers can be put to use. In this article, we will tell you how... Technology is ever changing, and so is the world of computers and networking. Almost every day, there's some new development taking place in the computer world, PCs are becoming cheaper by the day, and today they are available in abundance, that too at very affordable prices. Owing to developments in technology, computers of very good configurations are available in plenty, and at cheap rates. Given this, it is natural for anyone to discard old computers. But why discard something when it can be of use? Why throw something away just because it is old? And that too when you know it can be of use!


Good Uses of Old Computers


Personal Entertainment System


This is probably considered to be the most common choice of users planning to purchase a new computer. If the PC is in running condition and has a decent hard drive space, you can use it as a personalized entertainment console. You can install software for playing audio files, a DVD drive, a powerful speaker system, and other devices in a typical entertainment system. You can even arrange web access on this system, in case you want to play online radio or watch movies.


File Database


If you are a user with several computing devices, you can create a file database by using the old system. You simply have to increase the hard drive space of the old computer, establish a wired or wireless connection by using a Network-attached Storage (NAS) device, and start accessing the database through your personal laptop. With this, you can retrieve data when you need it, without having it stored on the hard drive of your new computer.


Sell, Recycle or Donate


If you do not want to use the old system for any purpose, you can make some money by selling it online. There are many sites that you can use like eBay or Craigslist where you can get good deals. Now this applies to a PC which is in working condition. Selling is one of the uses of an old computer in the sense that you can use it to make some money. Recycling is another way of computer disposal. There are recycling programs whereby you can make money by recycling your old computer. Now, isn't that a use for old computers? Or donate. Yes, donating your old computer to someone in need of it, is a great way of putting it to good use.
